The InYourArea map, which casn be found on the Derby Telegeraph's own website, aggregates news from every regional and national news website and blog in the UK, and detects when any city, town or village is mentioned in a news article and instantly plots it on the map.

When zoomed out, the map groups stories in clusters and provides a heat-map like view for each cluster, instantly providing a clear view on which areas have the most activity.

As users zoom in, these clusters breakdown further, eventually resulting in a hyper local view of which specific locations have been mentioned and the stories they relate to. The map is available at: https://www.inyourarea.co.uk/news-map
